aardvarkash10 1,159 Posted December 27, 2025 Share Posted December 27, 2025 Mrs Aardvark is somewhere in the BOI aboard her brother's Elan for the week. Dropped her off in Toots yesterday and then scarpered before the weather set in. Doubt she will recover on return to SO. The Elan is less sailing, more apartment living at a slight angle.

Quattro 17 Posted December 27, 2025 Share Posted December 27, 2025 Just back from a few days down the bottom end. Didn't need to come back, but early days of sailing with the missus on board. Planing all of February to explore Northland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elenya 59 Posted December 28, 2025 Share Posted December 28, 2025 Having a great Christmas cruise. Removing 1/2 meter of snow before next 1/2 meter fell. Not many other boats about, guess they are all staying at home for Xmas and be joining in the new year. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vivaldi 62 Posted December 29, 2025 Author Share Posted December 29, 2025 How was it yesterday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 343 Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 Yeah it was pretty fresh but we were nicely tucked up stern tied under some cliffs in a 7 boat raft up. We pulled our 2 boats (Rogue 3 and rhe kids little 8m race boat) away a bit for the worst part just to be safe. Lots of rain and some white squalls further out in fitzroy. We moved as soon as it shifted and rafted up in stony bay to avoid the northerly. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
